Nam Phan Believes He Could Have Tapped Steven Seagal as a White Belt

Nam
Phan, on “Beatdown,”
discussing whether he thinks Steven Seagal can really fight:
“No. And there’s all these people out there that hate my guts and
think I’m crazy. Like, ‘My God, Nam Phan? Dude, Steven Seagal is
the s---. What has Nam Phan done in his life?’ I’m like, ‘Dude, are
you crazy? Steven Seagal can’t fight. Are you crazy? He’s a
freaking actor.’ ... I don’t even care if you like me or not.
Steven Seagal’s a douche. Whatever. I’ll say it right now. I’ll say
it right now: Steven Seagal in his prime and me right now -- you
know what, not even in my prime. Steven Seagal in his prime and me
starting out as a jiu-jitsu white belt, I would probably tap him
still.”
